Hwachosuk of which the stone quality is the best among Unjinsangsukyeon has beautiful patterns in some parts of inkstone. The quality of stone from Nampo is excellent as you can make the most valuable inkstone if you trim even the natural stone a little. As modern society influences in our life, inkstone is not used much and 60% to 70% of inkstones that are produced in Korea is made in Boryeong. So Boryeong is the main area for Inkstone. The inkstone manufacturing in Nampo was designated as intangible cultural asset No. 6 in Chungcheongnamdo.

Ungcheon Stone

Osuk that is produced in Ungcheon is black like a feather of crow and glossy. And the quality is excellent. So it is used as the material for various epitaph, tomestones, etc. As you trim stone more and more, the black color becomes distinguished, and as you carve, the white color comes out. Especially Osk from Sungju mountain area is famous as the best quality in Korea and is the indigenous property of Boryeong.
Boryeong is also famous for Chungsuk with blue color, Aesuk that is mainly used as the religious purpose, etc. except Osuk.

Marine products

Launce that is caught in the sea of Boryeong is already proved for the superior quality. Especially picked launce that launce in May and June and salt at the ratio of 8 to 2 are ripened has the excellent taste that cannot be compared to anything. Oyster that is produced a lot in Chunbuk area grows slowly because the tide ebb and flow changes a lot but the taste and nutrition are superior.

Agricultural Products

Western mushrooms in Boryeong and other mushrooms that are raised with the wind from underground closed mine are not durable and the taste is excellent. Grape that grows along No. 21 national road from Nampo to Ungcheon has superior sweet taste and best nutrition. Especially, Sahyung grape from Nampo area is famous for its high sweetness taste. Masan area produces various edible greens such as seasoned aster. Especially, seasoned aster from Misan is fragrant a lot and tastes good so that many people want to have it. Lots of Painted maple are growing in the dense forest of Sungju mountain. The sap of Painted maple is especially good for people who have stomach problems and it is known to be useful for neuralgia and improving physical constitution.

Eat

There are many restaurants in Boryeong. Most of them offer fresh seafood. However, if this is not your taste, there are of course other kinds of restaurants such as Korean Barbeque restaurants and Galbi Houses.

Sleep

There are basically 3 kinds of accommodation available in Boryeong.

The most popular ones are motels. They are easy to be found because they are all over the place in this beach area. There are also many hotels. You can tell the difference between a motel and a hotel by the size of the building. Buildings that are more than 5 stories and larger in size are hotels. The quality of the room is not much different, but they have more facilities that customers can use such as spas, swimming pools and restaurants.

If you do not mind experiencing a Korean-style house for couple of days "minbak" (a private residence temporarily taking lodgers) is the one for you. In fact, there are more "minbaks" than any other accommodation, because for many people there, it's become another way to make a living.
